I've tried bazzite but I don't like that the filesystem is locked down. Or at least root is.

I have quite of a bit of Linux experience, with most of it being with Debian or ubuntu based distros that use apt but others are fine as well. Never too late to learn to use pacman better.

What's important for me is that the controller, buttons, and track pad are all supported out of the box or easy to set up. I would rather spend my time tweaking things I enjoy messing with. If it just take a piece of software or something though that's fine as well.

I'm curious about cachyos, nobara, or even PopOS. It sounds like cachyos is the best option, but I'd like to know what the other distros are like before committing.

Just got nobara installed and it’s working great. Only issue is that when red dead 2 is loaded. The entire game acts right until I actually load in. I get an average of 5-7 fps and my gpu (rx 6600xt) ran the game fine on Windows. I switched between proton experimental and 8.0 (I think?) and there was no change whatsoever

What are some of the best podcasts for Linux gaming? Ideally with news and commentary on developments in new hardware/software. Nerdy is good too!

Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.65-2-cachyos-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 28 × Intel® Core™ i7-14700HX Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Graphics Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU Manufacturer: ADATA Product Name: XENIAG15I7G14HX4070LX

I've tried X11, manually forcing the GPU to run, overriding defaults, making configuration files, backups, and even desperately using ChatGPT. Nothing I tried has worked and my GPU has been sitting at 0% utilization. I tried using prime, bios, and other methods which would take too long to list on here.

I am new to CachyOS and Linux in general so any help will be appreciated and frankly, needed. Thanks.

If you get this error, since i've been trying to look at it for ages and no one seems to have mentioned this issue, which is a shame considering both me and my boyfriend had the exact same issue.

TKG is the issue, if you use TKG, use experiential or proton GE and be sure to restart your steam it'll download another 2gbs on the second go, but thats pretty standard for rivals I hope this helps.

Alright so I got some issues with:
https://github.com/Taboulet/SoberLauncher/releases/tag/V1.5

and

https://github.com/evanovar/RobloxAccountManagerLinux

So for whatever reason I followed all the steps but when I get to the program it doesn't open Sober and I'm completely lost as to why even after I create a profile

[INFO] Launching Sober with profile: "My Roblox Username"
[SUCCESS] Sober launched with profile: "My Roblox Username"

Then when I kill the processes I get: error: org.vinegarhq.Sober is not running

and I don't understand how the profile system is supposed to work like when I make a profile am I supposed to log into something or what?

Without any of these options the game compiles the shaders from ground zero every time i launch the game. I am assuming the "__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1" option is the one that is supposed to fix this issue. But the problem is that every now and then whenever i launch the game it starts to compile the shaders from ground zero again. I've heard that it might be because of the gpu driver updates, so i black listed the drivers from updating. But this issue still occurs. This thing have been concurrent for a long time. I have formatted my system several times since then. But still the same issue. Any help ?

Currently on deadlock, my mouse how almost no sensitivity for some reason, and Is inverted, also had mouse issues on hunt showdown. not sure what’s going on , any advice nothing seems to work. any distro that uses Wayland seems to be the problem, but additionally not finding many distros that seem compatible with my laptop, 4060gtx Amd9.

I'm sorry I'm very tired today, so I can't exactly explain the problem trough words (Sc1 performance leak or smth)

This problem is not too much important because any normal person would just save and close the game

Please help me understand where does this problem come?

Thank you in advance for help

New to linux and had a tough time installing battlenet. Tried different things with Proton and Wine, lots of error messages (battlenet not installing, installing but not starting, CEF crashes, rundll32.exe, libcef int3, endless exceptions), tried some googling and could only find more or less recent threads with similar problems and no answers.

Just wanted to share what worked for me.

What finally worked was installing Battlenet with Proton-GE (installed via ProtonPlus), but running it afterwards with Wine-Staging. Trying to do everything with plain Wine never worked reliably for me.

Steps:

1. Install Lutris using your distro’s package manager.
2. Install ProtonPlus. This is required to install Proton-GE. Lutris alone did not give me a working Proton-GE version.
3. Open ProtonPlus and install Proton-GE (Latest). Do not use Proton-TKG. Proton-GE is the important part here.
4. Install Battlenet via Lutris using Proton-GE as the runner. Let the installer fully finish. Logging in once during install is fine.
5. Make sure Wine-Staging is installed on your system. Check with: wine --version (Working for me: wine-11.0 staging)
6. In Lutris, change the Battlenet runner to Wine-Staging. Lutris → Battlenet → Configure → Runner options Runner: Wine Wine version: wine-staging DXVK: enabled
7. Fix for overlay issues: Inside Battlenet settings, disable “Use browser hardware acceleration”.
8. Restart Wine once: wineserver -k

This might be obvious to some, but again, I am new to this and could not find a solution online. Actually used an LLM to guide me through most of the process.

Hi. I'm using Debian 13.3 on Plasma and I'd like to wirelessly connect a controller to my PC. I've read all sorts of things and I just don't know what I'm missing.

Lately my steam games don't exit the process after quitting. This is happening to me on Plasma on cachyos and bazzite.

Dota (valve game) with no launcher included.

Anyone see this or have a fix?

There is a patch for Windows 10/11 but not for Linux. Help!

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading to something actually able to keep up with recent shitty optimization standards.
I know AMD has way better drivers but I heard RDNA2 has gotten support for new features cut off or something(?) and I'd rather have this purchase last me as long as possible, so the more recent B580 seems more appealing.
Also the B580 seems to have way better Ray Tracing(?) which doesn't sound bad at all.

For reference this is my system:
CPU: i5 14400F
MB: Asus H610M-A DDR4 wifi
RAM: Crucial Pro DDR4 3200Mhz CL22
Main drive: 1TB Crucial P3 nvme gen 3
PSU: Gigabyte P550B (550W 80+ bronze)
I know I'm below recommended power but my monitor is ass anyway so I'm probably not gonna reach max draw anyway

I've been having issues with Quake Live and my CachyOS/Linux Mint installations. When I originally installed it on CachyOS the game ran flawlessly and never had issues. However, recently did a fresh reinstall of Cachy and now the game freezes after an arbitrary length of time and crashes to the desktop. This crash only happens when I am in a match playing the game, not in the main menus.

I switched distros to Linux Mint just to see if it was the 'distro's fault' and installed Quake Live where it ran well without crashing (I know Linux Mint isn't a bleeding edge distro). Last night I installed Mesa-Kiask which helped with other games performances. However, now Quake Live does the exact same thing it did on Cachy where it crashes randomly during a match.

I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers to what could be causing this or how to alleviate the issue? My immediate thought is the Mesa drivers specifically, but I don't really know how or why.

Part of me also thinks it has something to do with OpenGL since that is what Quake Live uses. This is the only game with any significant issues like this for me.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x

GPU: AMD 6600xt

RAM: 32GB

OS: CachyOS / Linux Mint (I have tried both, but currently have Linux Mint installed)

Any help would be appreciated!
